5G is currently the most-hyped topic of the tech world. However, India is far from seeing the faster network technology in practice. That said, it is already planning to get 6G sometime in late-2023 or 2024. At this year’s “New Technology and the Green Economy: Two Trends Shaping a New India?” online webinar, Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister of Communication, has claimed to make this a reality.
Vaishnaw suggested that engineers and scientists have already started working on 6G technology. For those who don’t know, the agenda-setting webinar is organized by The Indian Express and the Financial Express. This year saw the fourth edition of the series.
In addition to this, the government recently issued reforms in September for the process. This includes a few changes such as streamlining the 5G auction calendar, removal of the spectrum usage charges (SUC), and the introduction of a 4-year moratorium for the telecom operators.
